Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and significance of ancient religious and philosophical concepts from the Asian Chamitic world. The author traces the evolution of cosmogonies and genealogies, examining their expression in the works of Sanchoniathon, Berosus, and other ancient writers. The author argues that these cosmogonies were shaped by a priestly caste with a deep understanding of astronomy and mathematics and that their writings reveal a sophisticated system of beliefs and practices. The book also examines the relationship between these ancient traditions and the later philosophical and religious systems of Greece and Rome. Overall, this book sheds light on the complex and fascinating intellectual landscape of the ancient Near East, offering insights into the origins of some of our most fundamental beliefs about the world and our place in it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
